67b23e6043 getopt_ulflags -> getopt32.
It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on
size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit.
Basically it means that you cannot portably use
more that 32 option chars in one call anyway...
Make it explicit.

88621d7398 Svn 16007 broke the build under gcc 4.0.3. This fixes up some of the damage
(the e2fsprogs directory is too twisty and evil to easily fix, but I plan

d921b2ecc0 Remove bb_ prefixes from xfuncs.c (and a few other places), consolidate
things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes...  General cleanup pass.  What I've
been doing for the last couple days.

And it conflicts!  I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file.  It builds for me.  I have to catch a bus.  (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)

Hi!

I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.

That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.

I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.

'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.

One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

bdf6319d3a Patch from Egor Duda
Attached patch prevents modprobe from trying to call 'insmod (null)'
whenever nonexistent module is either passed to modprobe via command
line or mentioned in modules.dep

this replaces cryptic error
sh: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
with
modprobe: module some-module not found.

egor.

45a0513a64 Based on patches from Mike Frysinger, add insmod support for

Also, reorganize the insmod architecture support code to be
alphasorted and less messy.

Hello,

function build_dep in modprobe.c assumes that dependencies of one module
have not more than 255 chars;
that is not sufficient in kernel 2.6.7 (alsa sound modules). - Below is
a diff that solves the problem for me.

With regards, Christian Ostheimer

65c8c7ba27 Willian Barsse wrote
"There seems to be a slight problem with the "mod_strcmp" function in
modprobe.c, it scans for the first occurence of the module name in the
"mod_path" variable and expects it to be the last path element. ie
/lib/modules/2.4.22-debug/kernel/fs/vfat in my example. The comparison
will always fail if mod_path contains another substring matching the
module name."

Robert McQueen wrote
"Although William Barsse's patch fixed mod_strcmp for 2.4 kernels, there
was a remaining problem which prevented it from working for me. I've
just tracked it down - when you enable kernel 2.6 module support it
hard-wired the extension to .ko instead of checking at runtime like the
other places where 2.4 differs from 2.6. The attached patch fixes this
for me."

fixes two other issues (plus the previous as well) with a 2.4 kernel :

- should be able to modprobe an already loaded module and get 0 return
code :
# modprobe <something> && modprobe <something> && echo "ok" || echo "failed"
....
failed

Well, hope this helps and that I didn't screw up again,
